Anbuselvan
He is a simple and yet a powerful
personality. His sense of humour is
unparallel laced with jokes. A teacher by heart and wants to change the world,
spiced with anecdotes. He is a great teacher of Mathematics and had the
privilege of being a student to him. He had burnt midnight oil for the sake of
me and ensured that I cleared my Mathematics paper (AMIE). It was neither a one
day affair nor a one off occasion, but a day in day out, of disciplined
teaching for more than 3 months. I am indebted and will not be able to re-pay
it forever.
A Man never shows his sorrow and has an
amazing ability to cope with issues and pose a smiling face. His presence will
be readily felt once he enters the scene. An absolute team man, who led his
team along with him always and showed glimpses of his leadership. I was given
an opportunity to assist as what you may call as a cashier or an accountant and
I did this to the best of my ability and thoroughly enjoyed this stint. Of
course this stint with him certainly had its own favours and fringe
benefits!!!. For example, I can be with him always and go to any room during
“study hours” and meet my friends. I was also given a portfolio of not so
important entertainment in-charge of library and indoor games along with V
Sesha and did not attend PT!!
He is affectionately known as “Silvan” or
“Ambu” to many north Indian guys and we also called him like that. His skill in
inter-personal relationship is another amazing thing and he always ensures that
he is in touch with all. His letters were always an experience. In fact on one
occasion he spoke and said that it would be nice to meet at Delhi in the
pretext of job fair, which was a nice idea. Though we were not seriously
looking up for job, we made it worthwhile to visit Delhi and met. When we were
about to separate that evening, words were not spoken. Only eyes spoke and
there were lot of questions…. Will we be ever to meet again? Will we be in touch
again??. Though we both had no answers, we bade an emotional send off to each
other. But rest is history that we met again that too every year. He is a
master in the art of story narration and one can go miles to hear those witty
stories. (Though of late, he is yet to keep abreast with technology..).
A
keen learner, who was a novice in cricket once upon a time, started doing
scoring the games for all of us and thus started learning the game. Today the
interest and knowledge he possesses is phenomenal. Living in a town famous for
its falls, though he has invited us to come, the time and opportunity has not
come yet.
